    Chapter 7 - Midterm Zoology

    Uploaded by

    maria
    This document discusses taxonomy and classification of organisms. It describes the three main germ layers in embryonic development - ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. The mesoderm is responsible for development of circulatory, muscle, and skeletal systems. It also discusses different modes of asexual reproduction like fragmentation, binary fission, and budding. Common diseases caused by protozoan parasites like malaria, African sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery are mentioned along with the life cycles and transmission of the causative organisms. Different symmetry types in animals like radial, biradial, and pentaradial symmetry are defined.
